The Bad Place by Dean Koontz

Frank Pollard awakens in an alley, knowing nothing but his name and that he is in danger. Over the next few days he develops a fear of sleep because when he wakes he finds blood on his hands and bizarre and terrifying objects in his pockets. Some things are so evil, that death is almost a relief.

This nuanced mostly reprint collection, the first in a decade from Nebula winner Kessel (Good News from Outer Space), plays on the theme of a hapless, down-on-his-luck man thrown into extraordinary circumstances. "The Juniper Tree," the Tiptree-winning "Stories for Men," "Sunlight or Rock" and "Under the Lunchbox Tree," all tied to Kessel's lunar colony sequence, explore the limits placed on a man's life in a beautiful, woman-dominated city on the barren moon. In "Powerless," the only story original to the volume, a hapless inventor finally perfects a strange new power generator, destroying his relationships along the way
